Common Deficiencies And Failures Among Church Leaders!

The one problem I face, my own troubled fountain, is also the scourge of most pulpits in this country. I am speaking, of course, of the leader driving the car and not God. We often impose “our” deadlines, “our” agendas, “our” plans, “our” projects, “our” expectations, “our” standards, “our” convictions, “our” dreams, and forget what God wants. We get blinded by our own ambition. Instead of governing as if God was in control and we were simply following His lead… instead of leading our company of soldiers in this battle while following our own Commander-In-Chief, we design our own battle field and its choreography. More often than not, church leaders are guilty of creating our own battles and then providing our own solutions. Basically we take the role of deity and make our church family lowly subjects who slave and provide the money to build our kingdoms. We should instead be the “under-rower”, the servant of all and promote the church family to the status that God sees them as: His Sheep! We would do well to spend time in prayer to find out which way God is going and follow Him!
